Any rackmount server worth owning is going to have IPMI with SOL (serial over LAN). When I set up our rackmount server late last year, we put a DHCP server and ipmitool on a Raspberry Pi and plugged that puppy into the IPMI network interface on the server. The Pi handed out an IP address for the server's IPMI over DHCP, and we logged into the Pi through ssh to run ipmitool to configure the server. In this setup, the Pi was connected to our home network through wifi. You may need to enable serial over LAN in the BIOS. We got lucky and it was pre-configured for us. Serial over LAN also gives you a serial console for the BIOS, once it is enabled. You get full boot-up to shutdown access. So hopefully your server has IPMI and SOL. -- Chris
